Movement and Networks II

HES 505 Fall 2023: Session 26

Matt Williamson

Describing networks for analysis

Common measures

  • Graph-level: density, diameter, distance

  • Component-level: density, distribution

  • Node-level: centrality, degree-distribution

Common questions

  • What are the shortest paths across the network?

  • Where are the most important locations for maintaining the network?

  • How does the loss of a node alter the subsequent configuration of the network?

  • How do we translate typical movement paths into network structures?
